Mythic Americas - Hobby Update

I received the Mythic Americas (Warlords of Erehwon) two-player starter set for my birthday a few years ago - likely in 2021. The box has languished in a closet ever since, but I always have intended to get everything assembled and painted. 

I finally made some progress toward this goal this past weekend. I started with the Sasquatches, which are my favorite models from the entire line. They're the heavy (beast) units for the Tribal Nations faction. I used mainly Citadel contrast paint (Black Templar for the fur with a grey drybrush) and a blue Citadel wash for the skin over a base of white. The club is Army Painter Speedpaint Hardened Leather with a light orange drybrush.

The bases got some texture via Soilworks Winter Ground acrylic paste, which is really nice for simulating gritty, muddy ground. 

Then, to complete the effect, I went with 4Ground Winter Static Grass, which is really easy to apply and looks great. 

After the Sasquatches, I started on the ten Mohawk Warriors, also with the Tribal Nations faction. I went heavy on Citadel Contrast and Army Painter Speedpaints. The results aren't as clean as using traditional acrylics, but the process certainly is faster. All you need is a good base of white primer. 

I used the same base formula as I used for the Sasquatches. I'm happy with the effect and the uniformity, so I'll probably use it for all of the bases for both factions. 

The starter box also has:

• 10 Seneca Archers (Tribal Nations)
• 1 Sachem Warlord (Tribal Nations)
• 20 Tlalocan-bound Dead Warriors (Aztecs)
• 3 Tlalocan-bound Marauders (Aztecs)
• 1 Tlalocan High Priest with 4 bodyguards (Aztecs)

We'll see how long it takes me to do the rest. The Aztecs in particular have a lot of repeated sculpts.
